The Big Takeaway
AtGames has officially secured the top spot! This is likely driven by their aggressive expansion into premium hardware and high-tier licensing. Between the Legends Pinball 4KP providing a high-end virtual experience and their ability to land massive Zen Studios themes like Star Wars, they have become the go-to for enthusiasts looking for power and variety.
However, Arcade1Up is right on their heels. Despite recent shifts—including the “Asset Sale” to Basic Fun—the brand remains a powerhouse. The community is clearly keeping a close eye on what Basic Fun will do with those legendary licenses to keep the hype alive.
What do you think? Can AtGames hold their lead through 2026, or will the new era of Basic Fun-led Arcade1Up reclaim the throne?
